Description:
NGSSoftware has reported two vulnerabilities in AtHoc Toolbar, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) A boundary error within the handling of skin names can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly long skin name to the "SetSkin()" method exported by the ActiveX control.
2) A format string error in the "SetBaseURL()" function within the logging functionality can be exploited by passing a specially crafted string containing format specifiers as URL to the function.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code on the user's system when e.g. a malicious web site is visited.
